  • Impatiens Glandulifera (Himalayan Balsam) Chloroplast Genome Sequence As a Promising Target for Populations Studies
    Impatiens glandulifera (Himalayan balsam) chloroplast genome sequence as a promising target for populations studies Giovanni Cafa1, Riccardo Baroncelli2, Carol A. Ellison1 and Daisuke Kurose1 1 CABI Europe, Egham, Surrey, UK 2 University of Salamanca, Instituto Hispano-Luso de Investigaciones Agrarias (CIALE), Villamayor (Salamanca), Spain ABSTRACT Background: Himalayan balsam Impatiens glandulifera Royle (Balsaminaceae) is a highly invasive annual species native of the Himalayas. Biocontrol of the plant using the rust fungus Puccinia komarovii var. glanduliferae is currently being implemented, but issues have arisen with matching UK weed genotypes with compatible strains of the pathogen. To support successful biocontrol, a better understanding of the host weed population, including potential sources of introductions, of Himalayan balsam is required. Methods: In this molecular study, two new complete chloroplast (cp) genomes of I. glandulifera were obtained with low coverage whole genome sequencing (genome skimming). A 125-year-old herbarium specimen (HB92) collected from the native range was sequenced and assembled and compared with a 2-year-old specimen from UK field plants (HB10). Results: The complete cp genomes were double-stranded molecules of 152,260 bp (HB92) and 152,203 bp (HB10) in length and showed 97 variable sites: 27 intragenic and 70 intergenic. The two genomes were aligned and mapped with two closely related genomes used as references. Genome skimming generates complete organellar genomes with limited technical and financial efforts and produces large datasets compared to multi-locus sequence typing. This study demonstrates the 26 July 2019 Submitted suitability of genome skimming for generating complete cp genomes of historic Accepted 12 February 2020 Published 24 March 2020 herbarium material.

Can be free floating or rooted. Similar to…… Marsh pennywort (see bottom left photo) – this has a smaller more rounded leaf that attaches to the stem in the centre rather than between two lobes. Will always be rooted and never free floating. Key features Lobed leaves Fleshy green or red stems Floating or rooted Forms dense interwoven mats Leaf Leaves can be up to 7cm in diameter. Lobed leaves can float on or stand above the water. Marsh pennywort Roots Up to 5cm Fine white Stem attaches in roots centre More rounded leaf Floating pennywort Larger lobed leaf Stem attaches between lobes Photos © GBNNSS Workstream title goes here Invasive species ID guide: Floating pennywort Management Floating pennywort is extremely difficult to control due to rapid growth rates (up to 20cm from the bank each day). Chemical control: Can use glyphosphate but plant does not rot down very quickly after treatment so vegetation should be removed after two to three weeks in flood risk areas. Regular treatment necessary throughout the growing season.

(Boraginaceae) in relation to the nature of its axially shifted lateral branches Ksenia V. Kotelnikova, Daria J. Tretjakova & Maxim S. Nuraliev Summary: Shoot structure of Symphytum offi cinale was studied in terms of its architecture, vascular anatomy and morphogenesis. The main stem and lower stems of secondary order typically bear axially shifted lateral branches (along with axillary ones). This results in development of internode-like stem section between the lateral branch and its subtending leaf. Each shifted branch possesses two stem leaves (prophylls) and a terminal infl orescence. All lateral buds are initiated in the leaf axils. At later developmental stages some of them become shifted due to the intercalary growth of the stem between them and their subtending leaves. The intercalary stem portion possesses internodal stele structure, and the stele of the lateral stem branches from the main stele almost at the level of lateral stem insertion. This phenomenon can be treated as concaulescence (i.e. congenital fusion), though no strict evidences for phylogenetic fusion were found. Stems of Symphytum offi cinale also bear green wings of leafy nature.

  • Is the Spread of Non-Native Plants in Alaska Accelerating?
    Meeting the Challenge: Invasive Plants in Pacific Northwest Ecosystems IS THE SPREAD OF NON-NATIVE PLANTS IN ALASKA ACCELERATING? Matthew L. Carlson1 and Michael Shephard2 ABSTRACT Alaska has remained relatively unaffected by non-native plants; however, recently the state has started to experience an influx of invasive non-native plants that the rest of the U.S. underwent 60–100 years ago. With the increase in population, gardening, development, and commerce there have been more frequent introductions to Alaska. Many of these species, such as meadow hawkweed (Hieracium caespitosum), Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense), and spotted knapweed (Centaurea biebersteinii), have only localized populations in Alaska. Other species such as reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea) and white sweetclover (Melilotus officinalis), both formerly used in roadside seed mixes, are now very widespread and are moving into riparian areas and wetlands. We review the available literature and Alaska’s statewide invasive plant database (AKEPIC, Alaska Exotic Plant Clearinghouse) to summarize changes in Alaska’s non-native flora over the last 65 years. We suggest that Alaska is not immune to invasion, but rather that the exponential increase in non-native plants experienced else- where is delayed by a half century. This review highlights the need for more intensive detection and rapid response work if Alaska is going to remain free of many of the invasive species problems that plague the contiguous U.S. KEYWORDS: Alaska, invasion patterns, invasive plants, non-native plants, plant databases.

  • Ecological Characteristics of Invasive Alien Plants John H
    This file was created by scanning the printed publication. Errors identified by the software have been corrected; however, some errors may remain. Ecological Characteristics of Invasive Alien Plants John H. Brock1 ABSTRACT An influx of alien plant material to the North American flora accompanied the settlement of the continent by immigrant peoples during the latter part of the 19th century. Plant materials were introduced as ornamentals, agronomic crops, land conseNation material, and many were accidentally introduced as contaminants in seeds of desirable plants such as small grain crops. In the early 20th century introductions continued as people wanted to improve on the natural vegetation, and have plants that seemed to be better adapted to habitats than were components of the native flora. Several of these well-intended introductions are now considered as invasive. This paper presents information about some of the general characteristics of invasive plants including: pollination strategies, regeneration strategies, seed and propagule dispersal, formation of ecotypes, the lag time from introduction until the plant is termed invasive, and some aspects of the physiology of invasive plants. Many alien plants have naturalized to the environment of North America, and are so widespread that vegetation management strategies to control the whole population are probably not feasible. However, strategies to control the further invasion by the alien species are needed and will most likely incorporate integrated weed management techniques that are socially and politically acceptable. INTRODUCTION When taking a global view, there is a question among plant ecologists if a species is ever truly an "alien". However, in studying invasion ecology, an introduced species of a flora must be treated as alien to an ecosystem because it would not be there without human inteNention (Pysek 1995).

There is potential for a badger sett to be present within 30m of the site, but not within it, and therefore a badger survey has been recommended. The application site itself holds no suitable habitat for any other protected species which may be present within the surrounding area and therefore no other further surveys at this point are required. The site has been found to contain invasive species which will need to be removed by a licensed contractor. General recommendations in terms of preventing impacts on the adjacent watercourse, as well as enhancing the site’s biodiversity are made in the report. Land off New Line, Bacup Introduction Brooks Ecological Ltd was commissioned by Harron Homes to carry out an ecological assessment of land off New Line, Bacup, Lancashire (SD 878215).
